FooTheBoss WIP

I never finished or even applied because I had to deploy however after a recent trip to Legoland there was a Star Wars event going on and my passion to re-do a Mando sky rocketed! This go around I am much more patient and methadical in the process. I wanted to start with the bucket. Once I get the bucket complete and painted then I will go from head to toe.

Rubies 2 piece "I feel that with this bucket I can really get the fun out of modding it and customizing it"

Bondo the crack after I glued the pieces together

Bondo and sanding. I think I laid down too much bondo because it took me forever to get the dome smooth again

Went hardcore and fiberglassed the inside with 3 layers of cloth. The pic doesnt show yet but I also did the cheeks.

Starting with silver. That will be my base coat.

Im going for a darker theme. looking at black and silver with a potential 3rd color but very little of it.

Before i get ahead of myself, what are some tips for weathering/damaging silver? I was thinking a different silver or a gray to maybe dull spots out.

Also, I purchased these last night (Not painted) after a few beers to get me courage Special thanks to AprilStormProps!

And these (black in color) will be delivered friday, Ill be sure to post WIP on the coveralls when I get them to bring them up to standard.

UPDATEHere is my flak vest. Please let me know about the sizing of it. I circled areas that seem the oddest to me. Also what should the length be? of course the girth belt will cover the lower portions of the vest but those areas i havnt sewn yet. And the pauldron spot, they pop out right now but im thinking they will fall normal when I place armor on them. Any advice helps Thanks

Hey Vod! For Flak vest length, I personally prefer a longer flak vest because you can wrap your girth items overtop and it helps keep your vest from riding up and becoming misplaced! As for your vest shoulder flaps, It appears to be more of a visual thing because of the shape of the sewn on pieces, they aren't usually made to the exact same shape as the shoulder bell, more of a triangular shape but with a broad flat tip area. Because it doesnt have the fabric further back it's not holding as well, but depending on the shape of your shoulder bell it might eliminate the issue.

Thanks^^ I finished the flak vest. Here is the front plates I printed out. I will be placing shoulder bells on but I might redo that portion of the flak vest. Please let me know about sizing. Thanks and have a fantastic weekend all!P.S. My 7 y/o took the pic

the height of your plates looks pretty good, but you definitely need to trim at east 1/2 - 3/4" off the width of all the plates. Also, makes sure your collar plate is up as high as it can go, the opening should almost be "choking" you.
